PLANIS DEBATED lMiss Williams Urges New De- partment—Prof. Latane Fears Bureaucracy. l 1’ By THOMAS R. HENRY. Staft Correspondent of The 3tar. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Au- |gust 9.—A spirited debate between Miss Charl Williams, field secretary of |the National Education Association | and Prof. John H. Latanc of Johns Hopkins University over the need of a Federal Department of Education fea- tured the open forum mesting of the Institute of Public Affairs here today. Miss Willlams characterized education as the most important activity of the Nation and said that atlequate research work in this field could be conducted only by a Federal department with a | Secretary in the cabinet. | Mustrating the extent of American | public school activities, she said that a million teachers now are employed for | the instruction of 27.000.000 children. Iat an annual cost of about $2.000,000- 000. The need of research work. she | emphasized. is shown by the Fegh American flliteracy. rate Latane Fears Bureaucracy. | Dr. Latane insisted that, while a De- { partment of Education might bring tem- porary advantages, in the end it simply {would mean an increase in Federal bureaucracy. “Bureaucracy,” he said, “is the dis- | ease from which all old governments die, and unless we can devise some method of relieving the Nationul Government of the innumerable | | Conn.

There is a rising tide of liberalism in the South, Mrs. Sarah Lee Fain, member of the Virginia House of Repre- sentatives, told the institute last night. Mrs. Fain insisted that the race issue still is such a dominant factor in Southern thinking that it effectively prevents the formation of two parties. The new liberalism, she said, was con- cealed from the rest of the country because “the reactionary forces, stung to renewed action by the growth, of the progressive spirit, are more outspoken, more belligerent and apparently more often victorious. But their strongholds | are being undermined. The South is | experiencing & remarkable economic i development—and even more remark- able intellectual renaissance.” Mrs. Fain insisted, however. that in order to attain national leadership. the South must throw off the leadership of her older men, imbued with sectional, religious and racial prejudices, all of which originated in the Civil War, and turn to her young men. The South still {5 the greatest suf- ferer from its own sectionalism, Ralph R. Lounsbury, lecturer on_constitutional law, told the institute. The point has been reached, he said, when this section can develop a broader national vision, which would bs welcomed by the North. Sectionalism, Mr. Lounsbury said. still is an active force in politics and colors all the national elections, | appealed to in party platforms, exercises | its deteriorating influence on our laws, | debases ths representative idea and | puts a premium upon ths making of political trades rather than on the | merits of candidates and measures | Legislators who take the larger view | of secking the greatest good for the greatest number and who conceive it to be their function to represent the Nation rather than the States or sec- tions are few indeed. Minority Rule Alarming. “This substitution of minority rule for responsible party government is an alarming symptom in our representative system. for if there is any tyranny worse than the tyranny of a majority it ic the tyranny of an irresponsible minority.” “The South.” Mr. Lounsbury con- tinued. “hes been the compound victim of its political solidarity, with no claim on the Republican party. because it has | contributed nothing to Republican vic- | tories, and no claim on the Democratic | party, because its support was assured without reward.” A spirited discussion of the nature | of public opinion and its part in politi- | cal campaigns broke out in a round table discussion yesterday led by Dr. { A. R. Hatton of Northwestern Univer- | sity. | Mrs. Emily Newell Blair of Wash- | ington, ¢chairman of the Woman's Na- | tional Democratic Club, insisted that ! political parties follow public opinion |and do not support new issues unless | forced to do so. | “Naturally,” Mrs. Blair said. “the ! commercial politiclans who want to win want to straddle issues. Ton’'t blame the political parties for this—blame the American voter. Americans are pragmatists. Their measure of a thing is its success. They are not Inclined to take a position merely on principle. “Fault Lies With People. “Parties hesitate to cast all their political fortunes on one issuc. as they did in 1920. The fault lies with the American pecople rather than with the | political party. In 1920, one party cast |its entire fortune on the League of Nations 1ssue, in its platform and in ]-.very speech of its candidate; and yet | because 31 men wrote a letter saying | that the League of Nations would be entered more easily by the election of Mr, Harding, thousands of League of Nations’ adherents voted for him. “Political parties to be effective must be victorious and they employ the | { EN PIAN WO 1110 G EST. 1879 EXCURSION LOW FARES To ATLANTA $21.00 BIRMINGHAM $25.00 CHATTANOOGA $20.00 Saturday, August 11, 1928 Tickets good on rexular trains goin; V' ORESCENT And returning (exo LIMITED). and in Pullman _cars 1, of regular charges for { | | | | | | | upon paymen sbace ocoupie Limit of ticket 12 n addition e May be to ‘date of sale.

It is very difficult to express an indi- vidual opinion that is opposed to the group with which you are thrown.” Elections in America have become sporting events, sald Don C. Seitz, | former treasurer of the New York {World. “I have always felt.” he con- tinued, “that the power of the United States does not rest with the so-called independent voter, but with the indif- ferent voter. It is an amazing fact that at the last election 51 per cent of our voters failed to cast ballots. In the coming election these 51 per centers may surprise us, but we do not know | which turn their opinion will take or | whether ft. will take any.” Political Map Changing. A new sectionalism fs changing the | political map, Prof. Horton explained. New York financiers who have made loans to Europe want a low tariff, while the new industrial South wants a high | tariff, and this is resulting in strange | bolitical line-ups. | “We haven't had a two-party system in this coun ry for several years,” he said. “The farm bloc is not a part of the Democratic party or of the Repub- lican party, but is an agrarian party.” The State Department gives out less information on iis foreign policies than any other state department in the world, Prof. Latane told the group dis- cussing Latin American affairs. He sald that he was refused a copy of the proceedings of the commission of Jjurists at Rio de Janeiro, which pre- ceded the Havana conference, and that | there were only four copies in the | United States. | It is a common misconception in the | United States to regard economically | backward Latin American countries as of Lima, Peru, said. He pointed out that although Nicaragua had made lit- ‘tle economic progress it has produced some of the outs.anding figures of the last century, including Reuben Dario, who is generally considered the greatest also culturally backward, Prof. Belaunde | director of the Bureau for Public Per- sonnel Administration, of Washington. o Rfl,epn;:d tests have shown, Mr. Tel- ot said, out of every gang of from 10 to 20 la- borers it almost invariably turns out that two are doing more work than all the others. Systems of measurement, still in a rather crude stage. have been devised, he said, to wly to_the individ- ual before he is hired. Exteriors Indicate Little. Scientific tesi:, Mr. Telford said, havé shown rather conclusively that signs formerly regarded by employers as in- dicative of cl ter actually mean nothing. Shabby clothing, uncut hair, unshaven faces, unshined shoes, faces heavily rouged and skirts barely reach- |ing the . 1ees have practically no sig- nificance, he insisted. although a com- bination of them may lead a shrewd the unkempt man or the rouged girlare very likely to turn out the most honest and industrious employes. Public employes on jobs where the {salary is below $3,000 a year generally 1are of a higher type than those in the grades in commercial enterprises, he said. At the higher ranges of salary the reverse is likely to be true, because the industrials pay higher for highly skilled work. | !“Careful investigation.” he said, | “shows that the best formal tests avail- able are almost though not quite so reliable in discovering persons of out- standing ability: and that for others in whom neither ability nor lack of ability [stands out. the measurements are so | uncertain that the results are only from 110 to 12 per cent better than those of {pure chancc.” Python Causes Panic. A python which escaped from its cage in the Jardins Des Plantes, Paris, caused a panic when a warning was issued to look out for the reptile. It gained its that the industtious em- | ploye on any job does from 2 to 25| times the work of the lazy employe, and | observer to form correct-opinions. But | INDICTED FOR SLAYING.
